But more importantly, if you managed to get a TC at A&G M&A and are worrying about the industry being too competitive, that raises more questions - How did you even snag a TC there if you weren’t competitive in the first place? You surely have to back yourself more.

TLDR: If you managed to secure a TC at A&G M&A, you shouldn’t need to worry about exit options. And if you do, that in itself is worrying.
It's not difficult to get a place in A&G M&A. For now, the trend for top students from local Unis is still to go into the top litigation teams / academia/ JLC. The local M&A teams are usually full of strong second uppers (which form like 40% of the cohort) but it's not as cut-throat as you make it seem.
